Canadian Shoppers Find Bellingham
Bargains Irresistible

Popularity Of Locally Produced Milk
And Other Products Puts Bellingham Washington In the Spotlight
"Bargain Milk, Eggs, Cheese Brings A
Stampede Of Canadian Shoppers""

The recent
influx of Canadians clamoring for dairy
products and other bargain food items has
landed Bellingham in the National and
International News Spotlight from New York
to the U.K. as some Bellingham residents
have called for a "Locals Only" shopping day
at certain stores.

The crowds of
Canadian visitors filling their
shopping carts and cars to overflowing with dozens
upon dozens of gallons of milk has perplexed
many Bellinghamsters and left them wondering
what they are doing with all that milk?

Empty Shelves & Long Lines

Empty dairy shelves and shortages of other
everyday items has led to substantial number
of Bellingham residents fleeing town to
neighboring Mount Vernon and Burlington Wa
to do their weekly shopping.

Like a scene out of the classic movie
thriller "Soylent Green", during the height
of the traffic gridlock and product
shortages, Bellingham Police were called out
to provide traffic and crowd control at the
local Costco Superstore and fuel station.
Bargain conscious Canadians eager to take
advantage of lower fuel prices have also
resorted to filling up not just their car
but several fuel cans as well, creating long
lines and tensions at the pumps.

Shopping
Excitement Remains Brisk

Today, the initial shopping frenzy and panic
buying has subsided but business remains
very brisk and parking spaces remain at a
premium at certain locations.

Canadian shoppers accustomed to
shopping and
driving in the greater Vancouver area, with
one of the most densely populated regions in
North America, will likely find shopping in
Bellingham area stores enjoyable and driving
in Bellingham traffic a breeze. Many will
likely be left wondering what all the fuss
was a bout.

Over the
years do to its proximity to the
U.S./Canadian Border crossing, Bellingham
residents have enjoyed a friendly mingling
and coexistence with B.C. residents and that
is not about to change any time soon.
Overall, Bellingham residents, businesses,
and community leaders welcome Canadian
shoppers, their money, and the jobs that
come along with it.
